“ WordPress.org Strongly Urges Theme Authors to Switch to Locally Hosted Webfonts…” Crazier every day: https://wptavern.com/wordpress-org-strongly-urges-theme-authors-to-switch-to-locally-hosted-webfonts
-
Makes sense - thanks for the explanation. Yup - WP SEO plugins help avoid silly mistakes when writing, I find them to be quite useful. P.S. I meant HTML tags when I said: "tags" (like meta description tag etc.). Edit: I have experience with WP, but have never seen the WHMCS KB backend.
-
What exactly do you see as an SEO-related advantage of WordPress? Does WHMCS allow for mobile-friendly design, internal linking, tags, image alt descriptions etc?

My bad. I meant the top-right corner, when you enter through the door to the apartment. In the living room. A potential problem could be the sun from the window(s) - causing screen glare. Then you'd get more room for wardrobes in the bedroom. There are also some huge drawers that you can fit under the bed - check those…
-
Take all of this with a bucket of salt - it's just my opinion, based on my experience (and preferences/priorities). If it helps, playing with this software helped me be sure that breaking a wall is a good idea: https://www.sweethome3d.com/ I'm sure there are dozens of similar ones, perhaps even better (you may already be…

On topic I hope it will reduce the pressure on the electricity price hikes. That's as much as I expect to happen (and can allow myself to hope for). Slightly less on topic I love this website: Web3 is going just great And, a less sarcastic one, on the web3 and crypto in general, by the same author:…
-
Just googled it - yup, a great idea! :) On a more serious note - it's one of the things I just can't get around to buy, even though dishes are most often my job. Got a relatively small & narrow pass kitchen, so the place I had planned for a dishwasher lets a garbage can and some other stuff nicely stowed out of the way.…

You could route the cable along the walls near the ceiling, then bring it down to each desk. Different ways and types:
-
If you aren't allowed to use cable wall housing (not sure of the proper English name for that), then yes, definitely. If you can - IMO it's worth the hassle to install them (they come with self-adhesive, along with the old-style ones that are bolted to the wall).
-
Be a man - use cables! :) I've had good results with TP-Link USB Wi-Fi adapters, they are OK.
-
I thought it was more of a neutral post - sharing the news. This is a big move. Out-of-the-box solutions are beating WordPress, and these big players are trying hard to stay in the game. But I had forgotten to add my standard Marx-told-you-so disclaimer on such acquisition news, so here it is: :) "According to Marx,…

It's free proper beta testing now. Don't see why they would ditch that.
-
English isn't my native. "Not reversible" is what I mean - if that's the right way to put it. My long-winded drivel on the hash function. :)
-
Not necesserily, as far as I know. Hash is a one-way process (asymmetric). You shouldn't be able to determine the password from the given hash. You needn't decrypt them on the server, there's nothing to decrypt. During log-in, the entered password is hashed and if the hash value matches the stored hash for that user, then…
-
We're talking about Google authenticator and/or Authy and the likes (so not SMS or email)? Regarding the passwords, if implemented properly, they too work using asymmetric encryption - only (salted) password hash should be stored. Yup, I know. :) And I agree.
-
How does this differ from (properly implemented) passwords? Sure - there's only a 30 to 60-second window for decrypting the WebAuth code, but that's a 4 to 8 digit code, compared to a password that can (and should?) be 30+ characters long. Am I missing something? Don't even get me started on GDPR... :) EDIT: I'd also add…
-
My workaround for the device lost/damaged/stolen is using Authy. WebAuth used as an additional security layer along with a strong password is safer than only using a strong password. But I doubt that WebAuth by itself is much more secure than just using strong passwords. In theory. In practice: * Most users use the likes…
-
I use Softaculous when possible (the link's to my how-to on that). When not, I use All-in-One WP Migration (again, my tutorial). If all else fails - I do it "manually."

They seem to think blocking VPN IPs is a good idea. It makes sense for purchases, but for the KB - I don't see why.
-
What @MikeA said. Shared hosting saves you time/hassle - you just put what you want on it and it runs. Along with all the bells and whistles, whether you need them or not (CloudLinux, LiteSpeed and the likes). I also suppose that shared hosting accounts, on average, require more tech. support time compared to a VPS (my…
-
In the meantime, small website owners technically have to pay for GDPR lawyers and implement GDPR cookie consent, contact persons etc. Allegedly, to protect the privacy of people who carry microfone+camera surveillance devices with them all day long, wherever they go. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WTBkj8gFfI

Today, I'd say that Squarespace beats it for websites, while Shopify beats it for webshops, at least when it comes to non-tech people. Not a bad article on this topic: WordPress’ market share is shrinking
-
Thanks for the feedback. I've been off cPanel completely for a few months now (went full retard DirectAdmin :) ). About the website comment problem (and the article update) - shoot me a PM (or make an off-topic section thread, to not bother anyone not-interested in that problem). rEcaptcha is "invisible," but comments…
-
True - every year I look back on myself and realise how stupid I was. :) Regarding my expertise - it's realistic to say I'm an experienced user, but not a (real) developer. I aim to keep it that way. :)
-
No rush. As far as I figure, you are not likely to benefit from reading it. The only potential benefit could come for any novice readers (including myself :) ) if you provide some additions or corrections. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouCuyQI9pXc

Thanks. :) I've added a note about backups and image optimization. WordPress 6.0 is still in beta (to be released at the end of this month)?
-
Every solution has its pros and cons. Correct me if I'm wrong: WP2static with Cloudflare workers is a bit of a steeper learning curve for beginners, especially if they wish to have website comments, or run a WooCommerce webshop. The article is intended for beginners (who don't know how much storage and/or RAM they need).
-
All very good points. Thank you. :) With that in mind: 1) I've edited the article by adding a more "explicit" link to my article explaining what a vCPU is. The article was already linked to from a table, but that's more easily missed. Also, it should be noted that the article explains the vCPU primarily from the…

Prices go up, currencies go down, pays remain more-less the same. The way things are going, I'm happy as long as Serbia doesn't win the next Eurovision. :)

Here's a list of my videos, sorted by topics (most are bicycle-related, but there are some computer-related). Here are the latest (and greatest) videos. :) If that English is good enough for you, read on. :) Potential problems I've got practically zero experience with VPS-s (apart from migrating sites off of them, using a…
-
Correct me if I'm wrong, but HostBill system requirements look rather standard, i.e. should work on a basic shared/reseller hosting stack. VPS makes sense if you need some "exotic" system setup. In terms of power, I don't think VPS is necessarily better than a good quality shared/reseller hosting account.
-
I agree. It's just worth noting: Check your hardware resource needs. Some reseller hosting providers allow you to tune those (Brixly, HostMantis, KnownHost and MDDHosting as of recently - to note a few). Others have set limits per a created sub-account. Having said that, generally, unless it's something poorly optimized or…
-
Good points. Still, I don't like being "that guy" if you understand what I mean (I don't mean, nor imply the OP).
-
I think that's good. It can be argued that this allows for better resource usage - closer to optimal. For example: I can create accounts on my reseller hosting, providing say 5 GB of storage for each (overselling practically). That provides more than enough space for all the moderately-sized website files, along with some…
